Boyce Thompson Arboretum Tour – 'Tom’s Top 10 Landscape Plants'

When: March 09, 2018 9:00am

Can you name 10 essential plants that no Pinal County landscape or garden should be without? Would your list include mesquite or palo verde trees? Maybe a few native plants with edible or medicinal uses? A few milkweeds to lure and nourish monarch butterflies?

Author and landscaping expert Tom McDonald returns to the UA's Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior to guide his popular Tom's Top 10 walking tour on March 9, the opening Friday of our Spring Plant Sale. Meet in the visitor center at 9 a.m. for his guided walk down to the demonstration garden where McDonald, owner of Smiling Dog Landscapes, explains the relative merits of various trees and spotlights a short list of his favorite plants, and why they're excellent choices to Pinal County and central Arizona.

No pre-registration or event fee required. Event included with admission: $12.50 for adults, $5 for children ages 5-12, children under 5 free. Free to arboretum members and Arizona State Parks pass-holders.
